LV8-series droids were inexpensively yet very well built security droids with impressive defensive capabilities. They were designed to protect both their owner and their property. They had quadanium armor plating, blaster rifles built in each arm, and two tool mounts. They were also equipped with a vocabulator and could speak Basic as well as binary.[1]

After the Galactic Empire absorbed the assets of Baktoid Combat Automata, many of the Baktoid engineers fled the Empire along with all their research. After the fall of the Empire and the foundation of the Galactic Alliance, these engineers joined together to establish a new corporation, Baktoid Industrial Systems. Focusing less on combat droids, they instead worked on designing cutting-edge droids for industrial use. Their expertise reestablished Baktoid as a leading force in droid engineering.[1]
